LOVE IN THE AUTUMN, by P. R. MINAHAN First Line: I cared not for autumn weather Last Line: And danced on the garnered sheaves. Subject(s): Autumn; Love; Seasons; Fall | ||||||||
I cared not for autumn weather, Nor the brown and curling leaf, With winter straining its tether Through the dim days, brown and brief; For love seemed of the summerand I saw the loves of the summer Lie cold on a golden sheaf. Then I read your eyes in the yellow Of an autumn afternoon, When the migrant bird to his fellow Called loud over marsh and dune; I read your eyes in the autumnand I felt that love in the autumn Surged warm as a love in June. The strands of your dark hair glinting To the rays of a roving light, The touch of your hand imprinting A message too fine for sight; Oh, these are of love in the autumnof love in the frost-white autumn, Cold fringed with the haze of night. Ah, 'tis now that I love the scurry Of the wild wind driving leaves, The night's low notes of worry, The rattle beneath the eaves; For I've met with love in the autumna love that was young in the autumn, And danced on the garnered sheaves. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OUR AUTUMN by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN AN AUTUMN JOY by GEORGE ARNOLD A LEAF FALLS by MARION LOUISE BLISS THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A LETTER IN OCTOBER by TED KOOSER AUTUMN EVENING by DAVID LEHMAN EVERYTHING THAT ACTS IS ACTUAL by DENISE LEVERTOV NOTHING WILL CURE THE SICK LION BUT TO EAT AN APE' by MARIANNE MOORE |
